corner view - beach - stockholm





This weeks theme was a hard one. As I mentioned last week Stockholm is surrounded by water. It's also comparatively clean and there are a lot of public bathing places in the city centre and in the suburbs. But when I think about beaches I think about the ocean, salty waves and endless walks in the sand. Stockholm has a beautiful archipelago where you can find small sand beaches but most beaches in Stockholm look like this one, a 10 minutes walk from my home. As you can see, this june night the beach was pretty deserted. Basically just me and the duck.

Check out Spain Daily for the links to beaches from all over the world.

vintage wallpaper




Wonderful vintage wallpaper in a house built in 1936. I wonder if this happy wallpaper is as old as the house?

Kitchen




This kind of clutter makes me both happy and a little bit nervous. I love the half painted cupboards and the Piet Hein Eek high chair (of course).

weekend


It has been a slow and hot weekend. In a couple of days the lilac blooming will be over and that's always kind of sad to me. I have been wandering in my garden smelling them and taking pictures. When we wake up, their scent fill our bedroom. It's so precious. I wonder if I would love them this intensly if they lasted longer? I also want to wish all new visitors coming from Desire to Inspire welcome to my blog. I hope you'll find it worth your time.

first rose


It is friday and I wish you all a happy weekend. Before I go, the first rose in my garden burst (is that really the right word?) today. It's Nevada and I remember this from November. It's finally summer!!

tolix




We have a Tolix stool. I often sit on it while blogging, like this. When we bought it the different color options overwhelmed us and we didn't quite agree on wich one we should buy. One of us wanted a red or a yellow and the other one wanted a steel one. When seeing these images, maybe we should have chosen a white one.

art




I think the display of the art in this Italian apartment is very inspiring. Above doors, down by the floor, on the kitchen tiles...It looks casual and yet very carefully thought-out.

corner view - cityscapes - stockholm






Södermalm, Stockholm. I don't live here myself but it's definetely my favourite part of Stockholm. If I have had the opportunity this week to take a more overlooking photo of Stockholm you would have seen all the water surrounding the city.

Please visit Jane at Spain Daily for links to all the other corner views from all over the world.
